Royal Bournemouth Hospital Breaks Ground on £91 Million Coast Building Project

Introduction:

Royal Bournemouth Hospital has begun the primary construction phase of the Coast Building, a modern £91 million ward and catering facility. This project aims to increase patient capacity and enhance the services of University Hospital Dorset as part of the national New Hospital Programme.

Features:

The Coast Building at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital will introduce 110 new beds across four floors, along with a state-of-the-art kitchen, catering facilities, and modular spaces designed to adapt to future healthcare needs.
 
Covering 10,800 square meters, the facility emphasizes sustainability, incorporating renewable energy powered by photovoltaic panels.

The new building reflects University Hospitals Dorset’s (UHD) coastal heritage and its vision of being a welcoming “hospital by the sea.

It will not only expand patient care capacity but also demonstrate dedication to delivering modern, flexible, and environmentally sustainable healthcare solutions.

These new facilities will significantly enhance patient care and staff experiences.
The Coast Building is part of a larger £500 million transformation project across University Hospitals Dorset sites. 

This development marks a significant milestone for hospitals and the communities that serve in Dorset. 

The construction project has been carefully planned to minimize disruptions at the site throughout its duration, with the opening anticipated by late 2025.
